I would definately have to say Pele.
You have to remember, football (or soccer) is the most popular sport in the world, and the World Cup is the most watched sporting event, eclipsing the Olympics.
Pele was a phenomenal athelete. His popularity was huge in the US, even when soccer wasn't, and because of his status, the New York Cosmos sold out every game. His work with children, and the soccer community all over the world, definately make him the world's most famous athelete.
